Wouldn't this lead to people not seeing a doctor because they think it might be a cold or flu even though it is something much more serious?
If we are going to jail them we better give them a trial first (our constitution requires it). Also if we are going to deport them we are also constitutionally required to give them due process. In the end that would likely cost more money than just helping them in the first place.

"Chronic conditions" are wiggle words. If you are Type 2 diabetic because you are 200 lbs overweight, your rates are high. If you were born with MS, then your rates would be comparable to the average demographic you fit in(age,weight,smoking) excluding your condition. I won't "punish" anyone for a condition they could not avoid.
The point is that the rates would be lower due to tort reform. It's a $60 doctor visit, sorry it costs money to treat you.
Yes, they get a trial: "Show me your H1B. What? You don't have one? Guilty." It doesn't require Perry Mason.

You know, let me go back to this. Why do we have to help them in lieu of helping our own citizens? This notion that we owe illegal aliens something is absurd.
